ATARI FIRST TO PRESENT
NIGHTTIME RACING
ATARI'S SPRINT 2 MAKES
EVERYONE A WINNER
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - For the player who prefers high-
speed racing at night, look out for Night Driver, another
Atari video game thriller! The operator chooses from two
different sets of three tracks, to increase player appeal.
Players then select from the Novice, Pro or Expert tracks
of that set, start their engines and race into the night to
play Night Driver. Night Driver is the first video game to
offer players the excitement of night racing.
In the cockpit of his own Sebring-type racer, one player
races for the highest speed and points. The player con-
trols his speed down the twisting driving road on the
monitor with an accelerator. More accelerator pressure
means top speed as the player tries to control the car
around curves.
Not only is the nighttime video action realistic but
audio sounds of screeching tires, crashes and whining
gears add to the fantastic realism.
Exciting blacklight car graphics are illuminated by ul-
traviolet
. light creating a realistic and eerie nighttime
scenario.
Night Driver is designed with an exclusive self-test
program which allows all
testing of switches including
steering , gas pedal, gear shift
and all microprocessors.
Game time can also be adjust-
ed to 50, 75, 100 or 125 sec-
onds.
Dimensions of Night Driver
are: Height 72"; width 25.25";
and depth 29".
Night Driver is designed for
rugged, long lasting racing
action and suspense. The
game's standard features also
include exclusive DurastressT 11
tested solid state electronics,
locking cashbox, hinged coin
door. Atari's I nstapart™ 24-
hour parts turnaround service
is also available from Atari
distributors everywhere.
More details on Night Dri-
ver are available now from
your Atari distributor, or con-
tact Atari, Inc. , 1265 Borregas

SUNNYVALE, Calif.-Atari
puts more thrills, adventure
and money-making potential
in yet another new game.
Sprint 2, one of Atari's latest
coin-op racing . games, makes
everyone a winner.
It's a race against the clock
and each other for players of
Sprint 2. Action is fast and
plentiful from the beginning
as one or two players choose
· 1
one of the 12 tracks to race
against the clock for points.
Around the track they roar,
controlling their own steering
wheels and competing a-
gainst two automatic gray
cars on oil slick settings. Hit-
ting other cars or barriers
causes suspenseful loss of con-
trol and precious game time.
Sprint 2 is almost 12 games in one as each track has
its own adventure, thrills and pre-determined score to
compete against. Always a new driving challenge, video
realism is heightened and action is faster with Atari's new
microprocessor technology.
"The replay appeal of Sprint 2 is very high," said Frank
Ballouz, national sales manager. "We've combined the
winning features of previous successful driving games
with extra competition, faster speeds and more tracks,"
he added.
Game scores determine whether players are "Granny,"
"Rookie," or "Pro".
Designed for profit incentive, extended play and new
player appeal, Sprint 2 offers extended game time when
a track 's pre-determined score is won.
Game features include more thrills from a four-speed
N gear shift, and larger speakers to relay roaring engines,
gear shift whines and screeching tires.
Atari standard features include exclusive Durastress™
tested solid state electronics, locking cashbox, and hing-
ed coin door. Atari's lnstapart™ 24-hour parts turnaround
service is also available from Atari distributors every-
where.
